THE FARM.

INCREASING WOODLAND GRAZING
The pasture of many pieces of wood
land might easily be trebled by allowing
the natural bluegrass to mature seed
one summer. If there is no bluegrass
it should be sown very early, and not be
pastured for year. 1t does we'll in
even dense shade, gives early and late
pasture, endures close cropping, and is
not much injured by tramping where
the land is wet and soft-an important
quality, as it is not convenient to take
the stock off woodland pasture in wet
weather. The seed will catch on most
woodlands without preparation of the
surface, but old seed must be avoided.
Orchardgrass is another good grass
for woodlands, as it does well in the
shade. Like bluegrass it is palatable,
nutritious, and enjoyes close cropping; /;
and, unlike bluegrass. resists drouth
we'll, hence will afford grazing when the
bluegrass has died down In midsummer.
1t may be sown together with the blue
grass. Redtop and redclover grow lux
urianIly in rich woodland soil. Very
nearly as much pasturage eau be had
| from woodland as from cleared land and
the advantage of shade. and the mast"
from the hickories and oaks. more than
make up the difference. How large
might be the returns gained from their
woodlands, is thought which has not
yet entered even the dreams of many of
our people, who would be very greatly
and agreeably surprised by results, were
the seeding down to tame grasses to be
undertaken.

The Wasp's Nest.

IN South Carolina there are few farmers
who do not intend TO plant any crop on the
low lands until they see where the wasp
builds his nest. If the wasp builds his nest
low to the ground there will be no freshets this
year; if he builds it high up there is sure
to be high water.-Cbicago Times -

ONION CULTURE. - At a Farmers
meeting in Boston, lately. Mr.. Warren.
who had raised 1000 bushels of onions
per acre, said he plowed his land in the
fall, spread the manure in spring with h
Kemp spreadsr, and made the surface as
fine as possible. The onion bed he adds
should be made as hard AS it can before
the seed is planted. Thinks it would
pay every farmer-he don't care what
his land is-to put on roller with q
horse and roll it down hard. If this is
done, the maggots will have less chance
to work. He has watched the plan for
twenty-five years and thinks it is q
great advantage to make the land hard
before seeding. Where he got $40 BUSH
els on half an acre, he plowed the land
twice, put on the manure with Kemp
spreader and gave the onions every
cnance. People cultivate too many
acres. If you have ten cords of manure
to put on, it will be better to put it on
one acre than two.

SoILING CRoPs.-These should now
receive attention. In some localities
oats and peas may be sown to great ad
vantage. Use any kind of leafy oats,
and if the soil is rich, Marrowfat peas
the latter give twice as much as Cadada
peas. though those are best on poor soil
Sow corn in drills from now until July;
sweet corn is best as standard. One
bushel to the acre will give best results
on rich land and never put corn on
other-you waste your time in SO doing.
The sowing may be repeated until mid
summer or later.

quotations are mostly made for unwash-

Republicans Forming in Line.


The spirit prevailing among republi-
cans throughout the county is very en-
couraging, and warrants faith that the
entire ticket will be elected. The work
of the nominating convention was such
as to enlist every member of the party,
as each district received consideration
In making up the ticket, so that the ap-
portionment was all that could be de-
sired. The south, north, east and west,
each have representation on the ticket,
and all is in such harmony and good
will as to make united effort for the
whole a pleasureable duty. There were
no mistakes made in choosing candi-
dates. Every nominee is thoroughly
competent to perform the duties of the
office to which he aspires, and with
the republicans now in office will make
q clean and honorable republican adj
ministration of county government. 1t
is as good a ticket from top to bottom
as was ever presented for the consider
alton of the people. Vote it straight.

Republican Government in Iowa


The following is an extract from one
of the speeches OF Governor Larrabee
He is a business governor and deals
with facts in business like manner:
For thirty-one consecutive years have
the republicans carried on our state
government, and each successive year
have the people placed the seal of ap.
probation upon the record Of the party
and its faithful stewards. 1t has been
left to the republican party of Iowa to
show what purely agricultural state
may accomplish. We can boast Of hay
ing 1900 school houses, 5000 churches,
$1,000 miles of railroad, and more intel
ligent people, more fine stock, more
good farms, less illiteratcs and less con
victs in proportion to our population
than any other state in the Union. Not
withstanding the fact that women do
not vote i'm Iowa, nowhere else are their
rights so well protected, and nowhere
else is their political and social influence
so powerful as here. No other state is
so well equipped for efficiently conduct
its governments, and no other state
has performed SO much work
with so small an expenditure as
Iowa. l will quote from the
American Almanac for 1887, edited by
Hon. a. r. Spoiford, Librarian of Con-
gress, the yearly expenses of states
surrounding Iowa and few others:
Kansas S2,727,7Ol Ohio 8 $3.50, 2O9
Nebraska 2,S22,3OS n. York 15,S29,12
Minnesota 2,Sl6,7l9 Conn. 1,511,697
Illinois 100000 Virginia 2,755, O3f
Wisconsin 1892, 463 Georgia 4,453,393
Missouri 2,730,9S8 Indiana 4,799S43
Michigan 2,795,252
The last biennial expenditures of the
state for the maintenance of the var,
ious branches of the state government
for the support of our numerous state
institutions and for the construction
and enlargement of public buildings
were but S577,0l9.64 or 81, 28S, 5O3.52 pei

Not Cleyeland's Own.

The merciless people Of the press are
destroying nearly all Of the glory OF
President Cleveland in literary way
1t has been shown in every paper in the
land that nearly all the speeches he has
made on his great tour were fished from
the American Encyclopedia. His
friends still thought that he had left to
his literary glory the phrase that they
are so fond of quoting, public Office is
public trust" 1t is discovered now
that he is not even the author Of this,
and that he cribbed the phrase from the
inaugural address Of jeff Davis as pres
ident of the southern confederacy. But
democrats can say that even If Cleve-
land did steal it, it still came from one
of the greatest of democratic presidents.

Reformers Soliciting Funds.

Prior to the election of 1884, the dem
ocrats were aching to get into Office
that they might work great reform in
campaigning and purify the pool OF
politics. One of their chief charges
against the republican party was that
it received contributions from office
holders, which has been termed by the
reform president "pernicious activity
The party has denounced the practice
on every opportunity as a violation OF
civil service rules. 1t was therefore eX.
pected that when the democrats came
into power the organization would be
maintained and campaigns prosecuted
on popularity, and the record of the presi-
dent as it enlisted the endeavors of the
White Cross society. But it seems the
democrats have employed the plans
they condemned. The chairman of the
